Standard devices dynamically added to sidebar

Wouldn't it be of advantage to the KDE desktop to have some default default devices listed in the sidebar, like Floppy, CD-Rom, NFS mounts, samba shares, ...?
Of course, dynamically added as KDE detects these devices at startup.
This way one would not have to know where Distribution put their mount points.
(SuSE in /media , Mandrake in /mnt ... )
Just a suggestion.

| It is implimented at least in mine. :-) I have no idea when they added that fuctionablility, but I know its in it. Here is a quick screenshot from mine: sidebar.html
Otherwise, I just updated my cvs and can't wait to recompile!!!

that's not what I meant. I thought of icons showing floppy, cdrom, etc directly on the sidebar or maybe even as part of the directory structure.
Or could i get to confusing?
I simply believe that people don't think of floppy drives as a service. It shold rather be part of your filesystem. Some newer distribution already took on that idea and used a similar directory layout as known from windows explorer.
What do you think? Couldn't it improve proctivity?

Ah I see, that would be a nice feature to have in the sidebar.
P.s. sorry about the name "Wait No Longer!" I rushed through the post and ment to put it in the "Title" field. :P

Nice suggestion; I do keep icons for removable media on my desktop, would be nice to have them in the sidebar like that as well.
On a slightly related note - has anyone gotten konqs FS mount feature to recognize and correctly handle encrypted filesystems? Say I have /mnt/secret in my fstab, mapped to an encrypted loopback filesystem. When mounting it from the console, I'm asked for a passphrase before the filesystem is decrypted and mounted to /mnt/secret. When setting up a .desktop file for it, it seems to just hang indefinitely when double-clicked, presumably waiting for the "mount" call to finish, while "mount" is waiting for a passphrase...
A passphrase dialog would be nice =)
